An Ethical Checkup: Jewish Views on Modern Medical Issues

Hosted By: The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning

The world of medicine is constantly evolving and with it so are our questions. From seemingly small-scale issues of confidentiality to larger, more complex questions around altering DNA before conception, Jewish law has a wealth of information and perspectives to help us consider some of the most complex questions. Join expert Melon educator Rabbi Michele Faudem for this four-part series exploring how Jewish law views privacy, how we determine who gets what medical treatment when resources are scarce, autopsies, and gene manipulation before birth.
